It seems my version of the tasjo v2 is missing commercials, does anyone have it with the commercials?

I realize it’s not the Amazon web-rip, but there is a 1080p Chasing Christmas up on Youtube, and it appears to be the full movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjSbYG2MdTY.

This is my list of parameters when downloading with youtube-dl

-f bestvideo+bestaudio/best
--all-subs
--embed-subs
--write-thumbnail
--add-metadata
--fixup detect_or_warn

The main source I will use for my version of the special will be The Editdroid DVD. Then I will use 4K77 for the sections taken from A New Hope, and the official Blu-ray for the Vader widens the search scene.

I can save you a little time: the Blu-Ray “Vader widens the search” scene isn’t the same take as the one used in the Holiday Special.

Thanks, I already discovered that for myself though. I should alter that opening post.

Here is another preview frame of kahyk

4K77

Holiday Special

My Version

The reason why it looks like a different frame in the special is because it is cropped on the top and bottom for some reason.

There’s a TV promo for The Wiz in one of the US TV stations’ ad breaks. If someone could provide the Blu-ray rip of that movie to Darth telly (since I don’t own the Blu-ray), that would be great.

It looks like there’s a restoration of the Swedish SWHS in progress. I hope they actually do upload their full modified version, as well as their original version on Archive.org in the near future.

I contacted that channel a while back and they said that when they reach near there subscriber goal they will post the unmodified version.

I was not a big fan of DNR zion put on the commercials, so I did my own correction.

The Zion still looks like it has some motion blur going on. Great job matching the colors!

I just discovered that good condition clips of the star wars holiday special that seem to have not been messed with at all apear in under the helmet, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone had a 1080p WEB-DL.

Can someone recommend a torrent site where I can look for some of the stuff I need? I know nothing about torrents, I have only used them twice in my life.
